Another object of the iiwention is to provide dei/'ice of this characterwhich is elly l A ioobfe for connection to high pressure prges and hose,for instance, in shops, factories, etcq, in the employment of compressedair, steam, ges or liquids..

Another object oi the invention is to pro vide a hose coupling of thischaracter which is oompsrotively simple of construction,

1 oughly efficient in its operation.
